Epoch Everlasting Play, the maker of Calico Critters toys, has issued a recall of 3.2 million stuffed toy sets because they present a choking hazard to children. Since 2015, two children have died by choking on accessories included with Calico Critters flocked animal figurines: a 2-year-old in New Mexico and a 9-month-old in Japan. One additional incident involving the accessories was reported to the company but did not result in death.

If you have a Calico Critters flocked animal figure set that included bottle and pacifier accessories, it's part of the recall, even if you no longer have the packaging to determine the item number or name. The sets were sold nationwide at several retailers, including Walmart, Meijer, Amazon, and the Calico Critters website.
If you have a recalled toy set, take the bottle and pacifier accessories away from children immediately, the Consumer Product Safety Commission says.
